Candy Wizard and Travel

At least, that’s the case for someone who’s been traveling for a long time.

The scenery that many people admire may not be as good as the scenery that they have encountered on the road; the food that people in this country praise so much may not be as good as some countries that they have visited during their travels.

All good comes from contrast, which is also the source of sin and emptiness.

The travel time was neither long nor short. Travelers who could barely be considered experienced were often troubled by things that were both new and old. But now, she found that the boring journey was once again full of brilliance. No matter where the two of them walked together, No matter how boring the time is, it will become enjoyable.

Because the two of them took different routes before, sometimes it was inevitable that they would pass by the country that one of them passed by, and revisiting old places would bring some novel feelings. In the past, it was Irena who spoke, and recently Xidi also Try to express your feelings and practice smiling.

He gradually discovered that the more he was too shy to talk about certain things, the more Irena would push her further. In order to ensure the quality of her sleep and avoid turning into panda eyes like Master Mal, Xi Di and her junior sister Three chapters were made to determine the time and location of kiss every day.

After hard bargaining, this time was limited to one hour.

For the average person, an hour?Your lips are going to be swollen like sausages, okay?

And for someone who has maxed out her proficiency in healing magic for minor injuries, it is undoubtedly a major blow. She can't bear to eat less.

"Brother, is this time too short?"

"I originally said 10 minutes, and that's it. Don't go too far!"

Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Xidi rejected her junior sister with an unreserved cruelty. Otherwise, if she continued to beg, he would be soft-hearted...then the restriction would be meaningless.

He has already seen that Irena is addicted to this kind of thing like a child, and it must be corrected by him as an adult!

……

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In order to cope with the time limit for being close to her senior brother, Miss Irena has tried every means during this period, including but not limited to acting like a spoiled brat, attacking at night, pretending to be confused, pretending to be sick, etc.

The effect is not very satisfactory. If she wants to fool an excellent association witch when she is on guard, Irena's level is still a bit low.

In the end, Irena chose to use the previous method: transforming into a cat.

Although the perspective will be very strange in this state and the feeling will change greatly, there is no doubt that I can do whatever I want to my senior brother.

People along the way can see this strange scene: the white-haired traveler always has a gray cat on his head or in his arms, as if he is facing someone close to him, talking from time to time, and if he is not careful, the cat will rush into his broad chest. There was a sound of scolding in the robe.

Xidi acquiesced to Junior Sister's little cleverness. After all, he was not good at refusing. Looking at Junior Sister's depressed face, he would soon soften his heart. It would be better to be like this now.

The cat is very nice, soft and slippery, like holding soft liquid in one's arms. Magic cats don't shed their hair. In this state, they don't feel the same embarrassment as when they come into contact with the junior sister's human form.

The premise is-

"Irena, don't run into my clothes."

In the hot weather, the cat kept burrowing into his robe.

Xidi reluctantly stretched out her hand to lift her out, placed one hand on her leg, gently stroked the smooth fur, and controlled the height of the broom.

The slender coniferous forest, the endless green from light to deep, and in the distance, there is another forest.

……

Hidibi looked at the map in her hand.

This is the latest version. Although it is more than five years old, in this era, theoretically nothing can be changed in five years, but you can clearly see a building in the distance in the sky.

No, there was indeed a country there before, before.

"What's the matter, brother?"

"A little concerned," Xidi looked at the map again, "The country in front should have perished due to the epidemic 25 years ago, and now a new country has been established."

"Sounds fishy."

Irena twitched her ears like a cat.

She has also heard many strange legends during her travels, and has also witnessed some bizarre things with her own eyes. She can only say that in this world constructed by magic, nothing is surprising. The lost world appears in the dusk every 20 years. A country, an archipelago floating in the sky, a miraculous place where prayers are answered...

The reappearance of a country after 25 years doesn’t sound too outrageous.

Xi Di narrowed his eyes slightly and opened his vision of pure magic. After looking over, he shook his head.

"The magic power concentration is within the normal range. It's not a strange place. You can go and have a look."

……

As a result, before entering that country, we first came to a village.

This village is very impressive. If you want to ask where it is——

"For now, the only way to apologize is to die!"

On a crowded street, on a simple wooden platform, is a magical device that can give participants the treatment of kings - the guillotine. The hemp rope tied with a bright silver blade is slowly pulled up, and a middle-aged man is escorted to the execution ground. A soldier pressed his head in a fixed position, and before he died, he was still shouting what he just said.

Like every execution ground, during the execution, there were many people watching the show. Their expressions were calm but slightly expectant. Some of them passed by and took a look before continuing to work with farm tools.

so weird.

The two travelers didn't say anything like holding someone under their swords, because the guy on the stage didn't make a fuss, and the people around them looked calm. It was obvious that there was a convincing inside story, and the laws of the region , taboo or something.

"What crime did that guy commit?" Xidi walked into the crowd and asked a young man who was dozing off.

"Ah?" He blinked, "What crime? Oh, no, today is a fixed performance."

"?"

Before Xi Di could understand what "performance" meant, the executioner on the stage cut the rope, the blade fell rapidly, and then cut it in two - nothing.

It was stuck around the neck and seemed to be made of some kind of soft and light material.

"Ugh~" The little brother yawned again, "It was created by the village chief to attract tourists from out of town, but I don't think anyone would be interested in something like the 'guillotine experience', right? "

It's really hard to evaluate.

There were boos all around.

"Village chief, everyone said this is not possible."

"I think so too!"

"Some more good ideas!"

The middle-aged man who climbed up from the guillotine looked depressed.

"No, we can't say anything about this kind of thing. Why should we refer to outsiders' opinions?"

"The village chief is confused. How long has it been since anyone came to our village?"

"Well, there seems to be one here?"

The little brother raised his hand, and suddenly, a bunch of people looked at him, and the village chief rolled over and crawled over.

……

This impressive village is on the verge of decline.

According to the village chief, in the past few years, they had used the slogan "Experience the pastoral scenery" and attracted many wealthy people. They thought that as long as they came to the countryside, their worries would disappear.

Now that the storm has passed, the village's finances are about to be in jeopardy, and they are looking for a new development direction.

Until now, the slogans behind the pastoral scenery are "Experience the primitive life far away from human habitation", "You can experience the happy farming life with only a small amount of money", "The place closest to the forest" and so on.

The results, as you can see now, are all bad.

Therefore, the village chief entrusted the two travelers to find a way to save the village.

"I have a question." Xidi didn't really want to deal with this strange place, but the commission still had to be made. "Is it really okay for the village to do this?"

The above words may only fool fools, but fools may also realize that they have been deceived, so they should be a little impulsive, right?

"This..."

The village chief patted his clothes and blew away the dust he had just performed on the stage.

"Although our village is smaller, we have a very upbeat child who wears the same badge as the two of us."

There is a witch, no wonder she dares to do this.

It even makes people feel that this series of strange things seem normal after getting involved with the witch.

"Then can't everyone just continue to mess around like in the past?"

"Well, it can't be done now. This is also related to the matter I want to entrust you two with..."

The village chief said that if there were no competitors, their shameless publicity would be effective enough to break through the lower limit. However, in the past few years, a country that suddenly appeared nearby attracted all the guests. It is said that everyone who has been there They all praised it so much that they couldn't leave. As time went by, everyone who came and went went to that country, and this place was completely forgotten.

"Actually, some people in the village also considered going there to learn from the experience, so they let little Lucy go, but... like those tourists, they haven't been back for a long time. I hope you two can bring the secret of why that country is so popular... Oh, It would be best to bring back the witch from our village.”

"...It's so casual."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Just like that, after confirming that the country ahead was a normal place and seemed interesting, the two moved on.

As for that obscure village chief’s commission...

Just do what you can.

Xidi felt that maybe the witch refused to go back because she didn't want to work under the village chief.

In short, play it by ear.

……

The towering city wall is covered with moss and vines. It is a bit too old for a newly established country. It seems to blend in with the surrounding dense jungle. The only abrupt thing is the cast iron city gate in front of you. Its shape and pattern are all perfect. Popular in the past ten years, it is very eye-catching in this harmonious landscape.

Sitting on crutches and slowly lowering his cane, he saw the small window at the city gate open, and soldiers wearing silver armor asked for information about entering the city.

"But immigrants?"

"Yes."

"Understood, please allow me to ask a few questions."

Normal immigration process.

Xi Di stepped forward to cooperate with the procedures, while Irena looked at the wall and the green vines in trance.

There is a strange feeling, like returning to an old house that has been vacant for a long time. I only go back a few days every year. The popularity is not enough to fill the gap. Looking at it gives people an illusion of desolation.

"……what?"

The senior brother's voice made Irena turn her head, and she was hearing the city guard repeating the question just now.

"——Do you like Mr. Cat?"

"As for Cat," Xidi glanced at the junior sister behind her, "I like it, but why do you call me Cat-sama?"

"Of course it's respect. Anyway, if you like cats, please come in. This country welcomes all cat lovers."

...Why do you feel like you've just met a random place today?

"However, you still need to check your luggage before entering the city. Please put your luggage here. It will not be opened. It is just confirmed by smell."

As for how to confirm, it was really curious. Xidi only heard a few meows.

"Please come in."

Just like that, passed.

After entering the city, both Xi Di and Irena looked around in a daze. Even though they had been to many places, they were still shocked by this place:

As far as the eye can see, there is no trace of cats.

In the arms of pedestrians, on the shoulders and on the heads, on the tops of buildings and treetops.

Cats of many colors and types swaggered down the street, crossing people's feet, jumping over gaps in stalls, and playing with weeds on the roadside...

Irena suddenly showed a nervous expression, "Brother, I have something to do. Let's split up later and find a hotel first."

"..."

Xidi cast a helpless look.

"Don't do bad things."

"I won't do it!"

……

On the streets where people come and go, there are things that are old and incompatible with the liveliness. Moss grows in the gaps between the neat green bricks, and a small yellow flower blooms. There is no clear and crisp sound when you step on it, and the bottom seems to have sunk into the mud. The same goes for most of the buildings on the street. They are covered with vines, with only a few fresh ones, which looks particularly out of place.
